God of War Laufey

Spin-off surprise

Sony had another State of Play last night (it feels like they’ve having these more frequently over this year), and among the new footage of Wolverine, Rayman and Onimusha, the big surprise that Sony was leading up to – and the closer for the show – was a new spin-off for God of War: Laufey.

Following the (after) life of Laufey, the new game from Sony Santa Monica studio looks to be a slight departure from the recent God of War games, even if it is another game in the same franchise, from the same developers. Not only does Laufey follow someone other than Kratos, but also looks to have a faster, more fluid combat system then recent God of War entries.

Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Taking the Multisystem 2 for a spin.
